Chapter 229 Chapter 229 Accelerate Return

The sleigh drives on the unfamiliar snowfield day and night, The two did not dare to stop at all. Relying on dragon sense or keen elemental energy sense, both of them are becoming more and more aware of the threat from the blockade area: a major event that will shake the entire Northland is about to happen there.

"It's not just us... the sorcerers in the Barbarian Race tribe in the Northland are beginning to feel the sensation. Today we encountered four waves of reconnaissance teams - fortunately we ran fast." Shiroai looked at Their right, which is the blockade area to the west, became more and more curious about the actions of the Prime Minister there.

"Huh? Did a wave of energy swept across it just now?" Dagon slightly frowned, and said, "It felt like a gust of wind carried by the blade slid past my ears, my My heart suddenly tightened."

"Metal Element energy wave, your induction is correct, but next time, pay attention to using a more accurate term." Shiloai did not forget her identity as a spell mentor, Helping Dagon correct many mistakes along the way.

"Oh, I remembered. Did the elves use Metal Element's spells a lot in the blockade area, which caused the energy fluctuations?" Dagon asked: "You can still feel it at such a distance. Energy fluctuation, what kind of Metal Element incantation does it have to be?"

"You just said the opposite. If it is a Metal Element spell, then the Metal Element energy will be consumed, and the fluctuation will not be transmitted at all. So far." Shiroai said: "When casting spells on a large scale, the natural terrain is often transformed first, so that the terrain is more in line with the incantation to a certain extent. Therefore, these Metal Element energies are squeezed out and are not used. "

Dagon's eyes widened, and he immediately said: "If the Metal Element energy of this scale is not used, then the remaining four basic elements are used? Isn't the spell's strength scale even larger than four?" times?"

"Almost." Shiloh clenched his fists and waved, "The first thing after going back, I must figure out what they're doing. Spell on such a large scale. The action didn't call me, it's so irritating! Dagon, I'm so curious...I really want to..."

"No, you don't want to go in and see!" Dagon shook his head and said: " Don't forget the three dead bodies we saw yesterday, they all died facing the blockade area, and they didn't even know they were attacked. Treebeard was in the vicinity, that's what you said."

<"I'm just thinking, I won't really go." Shiloh Ai twitched his lips. If it weren't for the fact that Mana Eagle couldn't escape detection even in the stealth state, she did think about using stealth to slip through the line of defense. But if the mana eagle is dead, you can still re-summon from the elf card. If she is killed, she can't be resurrected.

At this time, another wave of waves struck, but this time was not a wave of elemental energy. Dagon listened intently, feeling that the vibrations were coming from far below ground, not very deep. He was thinking if it could be an earthquake, and the earthquake came.

The sled swayed slightly, and the sled dogs barked wildly, looking very flustered. Shiloh calms the sled dog with the reins and reassuring words, and she uses less spell spells, which is good for both her and the sled dog.

"There is an earthquake, and the Barbarian Race in the North is impossible to know." Shi Luoai looked up at the sky, sighed, and said, "There are unnatural energy fluctuations in the sky, and the weather is going to be bad!"

"Control the weather to establish a blockade?"

"Yes, that's what the sentinel said." Shiroai said: "The north is too big, and it is impossible to arrange enough manpower to cover everyone. direction, but a similar blockade can be created with a snowstorm in a specific area. We need to speed up so we don't get buried by the snowstorm."

"How much time is there?"

"I don't know, unless I see how the array that creates this effect is arranged in detail." Shiloh kept looking up at the sky, with the rays of light that detect spells flashing in his eyes. She looked at it for a while and said, "Yes, the spell is in action, the elements are starting to build up, and the weather will turn bad soon. I estimate that the snow will continue to fall at noon tomorrow at the latest, creating a disaster."

In this case, you can only continue to accelerate, even if you feel bad for the dog. The newly fallen snow will be so soft that the sleds won't sink, but not the sled dogs, who can only travel on slightly frozen snow. The same is true for Dagon's puppet mount. When the snow is too thick, it is difficult for him to borrow the Earth Element energy on the ground. Although he has now learned to use simple energy transfer technology and rely on Water Element energy to propel his mounts, the conversion efficiency is still too low, and it is ok for emergency rescue in a short time, so it cannot be used for long-distance marches.

In fact, let alone noon the next day, it was not even midnight before the big blizzard occurred. The wind was blowing in big clumps of snowflakes from the west, as if hundreds of people were throwing snowballs at Dagon and them, and it couldn't move at all. The sled dogs were so frightened by the situation that they could no longer cope with the soft new snow unless they jumped from pit to pit like rabbits.

Dagon puts the dogs into the sled and takes over the driving. Shirouai couldn't rest at this time, she thought of a way to make the sleigh move. On the one hand, she uses the array to provide Dagon with more accessible Water Element energy, increasing his spell stamina. At the same time, she once again opened the sail made of a sleeping bag to provide auxiliary power. The sleigh was also driven by the wind, heading further east to the south.

A little distance away, and snowfall decreases significantly. When they looked back, the spell cordon of the elves seemed to have cut through some invisible snow bag in the sky, and the snow inside fell like a waterfall, creating a majestic snow wall standing in Between Heaven and Earth. That wall of snow is the elves' warning to the entire North Barbarian Race: whoever dares to come will be buried.

"Too terrifying. It's just the Defensive Array line, the scale of the spell is so huge. What's going on inside must be many times that scale?" Ai became more anxious. She knew that it was impossible for her to break in and sneak in again, so she only wanted to hurry back to her own territory and find out about it through her family.

The two took turns to rest, without stopping all the way, completely ignoring the residents of the Barbarian Race who were trying to inquire about the situation, and returned to Canine Fortress as quickly as possible. Complete martial law has entered here, all kinds of city defense weapons have been put out, and guards are guarding it day and night. They don't know what the elves are doing, but they do know that every time a severe weather disaster strikes the North, the Barbarian Race is more likely to take the risk and launch an attack on the canine fortress.

Fortunately, they are just guarding against the Barbarian Race, and don't care about the combination of elves and dwarves, even more how Shiroai still has a complete pass. The two put down their sleds here, bid farewell to the dogs that accompanied them all the way—by the way, they shared all the remaining frozen dragon meat—and put on two fast horses, running all the way to Myniris.

Being strapped to a horse was uncomfortable for Dagon, and the jerking up and down made him nauseous. The Jiangu people do not like to ride horses, so wider and lower mounts are acceptable to them. Likewise, dragons don't like to ride horses, and if it wasn't for Shiloh, Dagon would have preferred to hire a carriage, or simply walk back.

The two have endured the hardships of a long journey back to Myris, and Hiloai said that she would not return to the Academy and needed to rush home immediately. Dagon hadn't been to Shiloh's house, but he also knew that this wasn't the time to be curious. He confirmed that Shirouai was able to carry all the spills of war, including Kavey's head, meteorites, and items such as Ice Silence, and separated from her outside the Academy.

Drawing his body tired from the bumps back to his pothole dormitory, Dagon threw himself onto the bed and slept in the dark for ten hours. Although his body was resting, he continued to study with Reid in the Soul Spirit middle realm, and opened a course called physics and chemistry in addition to arithmetic. Dagon liked this class very much, feeling that it was a combination of Jiangu engineering technology and alchemy spell. But this raises a question:
"Didn't you say you can't spell? Alchemy is spell!"

"I teach you chemistry, not alchemy! Chemistry is better than alchemy... ...Uh, it can't actually be compared." Reid wanted to say that chemistry was a higher level, but he thought that the alchemy spell of this world could not only create elemental life, but also be used to drive alchemy golems.

"Can't you compare?" Dagon tugged at his beard and asked, "Ryder, have you seen Bono's parchment rolls? What do you think of those half-cut recipes?"

"To be honest, I don't understand it at all, so I can't evaluate it." Rhett stared at Dagon with a rare hint of hesitation in his eyes. He opened his mouth slightly, his lips trembled several times, and finally said in a very unconfident voice: "When you wake up, go to the student equipment to find a few things, I want you to try a formula."

"Alchemy?"

"Chemistry. You don't bother with the details and just do what I say. Remember, it must be kept secret, you can't tell anyone what you're going to build." Reid Crouching on the ground, he motioned for Dagon to lean over, and the two were head to head. He lowered his voice and said, "First you need to find charcoal and grind it with a mill; you also need to find sulfur and saltpeter, they look like this..."

The main recipes are these three, and Rhett also mentioned seven or eight kinds of materials used as blindfolds, making the whole recipe look like the kind of random combination of beginners. "This is only the most basic formula, and there are stronger ones. Dagon, use this formula well, and you can change the world."

"Just by charcoal, nitrate and sulfur?" Dagon scratched his beard and shook his head. Shaking his head in disbelief. "I feel that your formula is not as reliable as Bao Nuo's. Oh, by the way, I think of what Bud secretly passed on to me, there is also a formula in the "Three Rivers Journey" of the elves' travelogue. Rhett, your competitor for this formula is not Little, don't make me think you lost."

"Do you know why I hesitated just now?" Reid spread out both hands and said frankly: "Through the observation of this world, I I don't know if this recipe can be used. My world doesn't have the spell you have here, and no one can throw Fireballs with incantation."

"Ah? Then your world is so primordial, no spell. You can only fight with swords, right? But you also said that you don’t have the martial skill!”

“Don’t ask, Spiritual God above is watching, I don’t want to say it for the time being.” Reid said: "If my recipe can work, then... ah, whether it works or not, this time Ais Ain should give me a letter. Don't look at only three ingredients, it has a big impact, a big..."
